Why are Food Banks Important?

The annual Hunger Report published by Food Banks Canada notes that most of those who access food banks have incomes that are too low to cover even the most basic needs. While many of those needing help are on social assistance or rely on disability-related income support, others are employed or rely on pensions or student loans. Because of a lack of affordable housing units, most pay market rates for rent and have little left over for food.

If you need food

Do either you or your family require assistance? To request support from FAMSAC, please call (613) 820-5428 and leave a message with your name, the number of people requiring assistance and contact information, including when it is best to reach you.

One of our volunteers will contact you to set up an appointment for you to come to the food pantry to pick up your food. Please do not come to the pantry without having made an appointment.
